Sophomore Grace Cormany found her passion for knitting last year in a crafting class. “I took a class with Mrs. Ellis and she had me [knit],” Cormany said. Knitting helps Cormany relax and relieve her anxieties after a anxious day at school. “It’s really calming, especially after a stressful day,” Cormany said. “If you just light a good candle and you start, it’s really good for stress and anxieties and all that.” Cormany’s favorite part of the knitting process is when the end result is in sight. “I really like when you see it all start to come together,” Cormany said. “Starting and finishing, you have to do the weird stuff but in the process, it’s just mindless and you see it and it’s coming to life.”
